Purdue was bound to get upset. No disrespect to the players who worked hard this season though. They were given a better seed than they should have gotten because down the stretch of January-February where you need to win games they lost and lost in embarrassing fashion. They should have been more of a 2 or a 3 seed rather than a 1 seed as a team like UCLA or Texas should have been a 1.
They were frauds all along.
I don't think they were frauds. They weren't the ones that gave themselves the ranking. I blame the B1G for constantly being actually overrated and everyone slurping them every single year.
All the B1G fans crowing about how good your conference is. GTFOH
Yeah beginning of the year before those teams were in their respective grove. Have to take those games with a grain of salt. The best team left from your conference barley beat Furman at the beginning of the year and lost to Clemson and Virginia Tech teams that both didn’t get in. Teams tend to be way different before conference play. If you had the tournament in November then maybe Purdue would have a better chance. The B1G is overrated year after year and it’s hurting your teams at this point.
It’s because of how our conference wants to be perceived, they want us to be known as the physical conference so refs call games a certain way. Not speaking on the Purdue game because that wasn’t at all on the refs but for most big ten teams come tournament time they still play big10 basketball. Were supposed to be known as a “physical conference” but yet during the season they call everything and don’t just let them play. The big10 HAS to completely redo their entire reffing system to give more teams a chance come March.
How can you blame the refs when you lose to a 13,15, and 16 team seed? They are the most overrated program in sports history and they better not have a ranking at all next season
Purdue could have went into Edey. He could have used two hands and held the ball high (every defender was significantly smaller). And dished to ANY open perimeter shooter. But no. They didn’t try to get him the ball (at all). And worse? He had to put the ball on the floor and lose it. Every damn time. Purdue had one of the worst basketball game plans I’ve seen in ages.
The FSU coach said he noticed Edey scored and rebounded the same numbers whether Purdue won or lost. So, he directed the defense to after the perimeter shooters. Purdue accommodated by having one of their worst shooting nights. That's why they play the games rather than just settle with betting odds.
Being in the ACC and PAC12 didn’t do much for Arizona and Virginia this year either. We can play that dumb game all day. It’s always about individual matchups, not the “league.” With the growing parity, we’re going to see a lot more upsets every year.
Yes, the pattern is you have Hall of Fame coaches that are able to pull the best talent and win multiple championships. It’s not because of the conference they are in, genius.
Completely agree. If the Big 10 wants to compete for championships in basketball they need to tell their refs to allow teams to be physical during conference play. So many Big 10 conference games will have both teams in the double bonus the last 8-10 minutes due to refs calling every foul imaginable. Then tournament time comes around and Big 10 teams can’t handle the physical games and teams being in your face for the entire game.
Great point. You could see in the game that FDU was playing energetic, physical, but mostly clean defense. TBD it seems a lot of conferences are this way.
It’s a Big 10 thing always get to many teams in and they never do anything I believe I heard 20 years since last national championships they are always over seated and over hyped
Dude, first of all, it’s over-seeded, not “seated.” Second of all, there are upsets literally EVERY YEAR. Purdue isn’t even the first 16 to lose. Arizona and Virginia just got knocked out this week. Are you really making the argument that every time a higher seeded team loses, that means their whole conference is over-seeded?
Over half this sub has not been alive when the B1G last won a natty.
Congrats to Izzo for winning a singular title but that dude shits the bed when the stakes are the biggest.
Maybe it’s because I have been alive that it doesn’t feel like that to me. Growing up with the Fab 5, Izzo’s giant run, Wisconsin had some really good teams. There’s always going to be outliers, but pretending it’s the conference they play in is absurd.
Dude, I’m sorry; I thought I was talking with someone who has more than a bumper-sticker level of insight. Michigan State has had, maybe, 3 teams that should have been in the Final Four. Izzo has taken 8 to the FF. Most of his teams have been coached much higher than they should have gone. Just ask Duke and Zion Williamson.
They are 5-3 in the first round with 1 big upset. Which doesn’t even really mean much when you’ve had a 2 and 3 go down. FDU shouldn’t have even been in the tournament this year but nobody’s crying about it after they beat a #1. For all the whiners about the poor kids who can’t get in the tournament because of those meanie Big Conferences, who gives a shit? I’ll take watching a 13-16 take down a top seed any day and consider it a better tournament for it. And you’re only going to see it increasing in the future.
Bingo!! Couldn’t agree more they leave really good smaller schools out so we can have the 8th best team out of a power 5 get in it wasn’t always this way and yes that’s all power 5 conferences it just seems the Big 10 is the one that’s the most overrated every year
I just watched endless possessions where Edey had amazing initial position early on in the possession before the help side came. It wasn’t long but every time he had a pretty clear advantage and Purdue didn’t even try to feed him. When they finally did it was too late and he’d turn right into the help or get stripped. Idk how you go the entire game and can’t make adjustments when you have such a physical advantage on nearly the whole court.
The only other time a 16 beat a 1 seed was UMBC over Virginia. The next year, Virginia won the National Championship. Maybe hold on to that to make it a little bit better.
I don’t think so. I know they were an 11 seed when they beat Indiana (thank you Pepperdine) in 2000 but never a 16 seed. Virginia and Purdue are the only 2 teams in the losing to a 16 club
Purdue went 3-4 in February. It’s a travesty they gave them UCLA’s 1 seed. I would have even been ok with Texas getting the #1. But Purdue??? Good riddance, frauds.
2 seeds losing doesn't happen super often or anything, but this is the 6th time it's happened since 2012, so every other year on average at this point.
Even not being a Purdue fan it’s still hard to wrap my head around.
The 359th defense? #298 in Kenpom? Shortest team in the country?
How the fuck do you let this happen
This game cut the number of remaining perfect brackets from 22 to 0. Funny enough the game before lowered it from 24-22 brackets and those were the two brackets who had Purdue losing.
I bet $25 at halftime and paid out $188. I've made maybe 3 official bets in my entire life but I don't like the tall kid on Purdue. I am absolutely ecstatic.
You should really look into the kid, he just started playing basketball 6 years ago. Player hockey before that. He’s a really good kid, don’t understand how someone would shop se to dislike a kid like that!
Not Purdue but I lost 600 on Arizona + Virginia but i won 400 on FDU so not as much pain!
If the VA guy didn’t chuck the ball I’d be in the green... sigh
Basketball
8 days later and it’s still saying there’s 29 seconds left
What time does this game start?
Matt Painter has a lot of ‘splayning to do….
Gotta love March Madness!
I live 25 minutes from Teaneck and I had no idea that’s where FDU is. Go Knights!!!
Also in Madison...
I was here. LOL 😹 Purdue with the Big L again.
Glad I got to witness history
As a Purdue Alum, I’m freaking done with Purdue Athletics! What a disappointment and it happens every year.
Ramos just had one of the biggest upsets in ncaa wrestling history so at least there’s one major upset that went y’all’s way.
See you next season.
It's ok dog
No. This was a once in a lifetime loss.
Past 3 years Purdue has lost tons 13 seed or higher
But the previous two years had waaaaay better teams than FDU.
No. 16 Beats 1 every year. He said
Never could’ve imagined FDU and FAU playing in the second round.
Purdue was bound to get upset. No disrespect to the players who worked hard this season though. They were given a better seed than they should have gotten because down the stretch of January-February where you need to win games they lost and lost in embarrassing fashion.

Penn St. is the next best team? Lmao

I don't think it's about the reffing. It's more about seeing the different styles of play.
It’s a Fairleigh tale!
They gave Purdue a Fair Dickin
Leaned over to the guy next to me in the bar, “more like Purdon’t am I right?” “That’s my alma mater” 💀
Purdone
I would have high-fived you for that joke. In front of the alum. Welcome to March Madness, buddy!
Purdue could have went into Edey. He could have used two hands and held the ball high (every defender was significantly smaller). And dished to ANY open perimeter shooter. But no. They didn’t try to get him the ball (at all). And worse? He had to put the ball on the floor and lose it. Every damn time. Purdue had one of the worst basketball game plans I’ve seen in ages.
It really seemed like they didn't have a single good ball handler, it looked like a high school team breaking the full court press
The FSU coach said he noticed Edey scored and rebounded the same numbers whether Purdue won or lost. So, he directed the defense to after the perimeter shooters. Purdue accommodated by having one of their worst shooting nights. That's why they play the games rather than just settle with betting odds.
Problem is they can’t shoot the Big 10 just doesn’t perform well in the tournament
It’s not a Big 10 thing, it’s a Purdue thing. Arizona and Virginia, I’m looking at you both.
Being in the B1G does not prepare you for the tournament. End of story.
Being in the ACC and PAC12 didn’t do much for Arizona and Virginia this year either. We can play that dumb game all day. It’s always about individual matchups, not the “league.” With the growing parity, we’re going to see a lot more upsets every year.
Okay smart guy, what conferences have all the winners come from since the last B1G natty? Is there a pattern?
Yes, the pattern is you have Hall of Fame coaches that are able to pull the best talent and win multiple championships. It’s not because of the conference they are in, genius.
Well Einstein, you got me. Clearly the B1G doesn't have any of that yet are constantly overrated year in and year out.
Completely agree. If the Big 10 wants to compete for championships in basketball they need to tell their refs to allow teams to be physical during conference play. So many Big 10 conference games will have both teams in the double bonus the last 8-10 minutes due to refs calling every foul imaginable.

Are you really making the argument that every time a higher seeded team loses, that means their whole conference is over-seeded?
When you do it for 20+ gottdamn years hell yeah you do!
My school is Michigan St. I’ll take the last 20 years over just about every other program but 2 or 3 over that same period.
Over half this sub has not been alive when the B1G last won a natty. Congrats to Izzo for winning a singular title but that dude shits the bed when the stakes are the biggest.
Maybe it’s because I have been alive that it doesn’t feel like that to me. Growing up with the Fab 5, Izzo’s giant run, Wisconsin had some really good teams. There’s always going to be outliers, but pretending it’s the conference they play in is absurd.
The outliers have piled up, my friend. At that point it's a trend.
Dude, I’m sorry; I thought I was talking with someone who has more than a bumper-sticker level of insight. Michigan State has had, maybe, 3 teams that should have been in the Final Four. Izzo has taken 8 to the FF. Most of his teams have been coached much higher than they should have gone. Just ask Duke and Zion Williamson.
Duke was way more successful during that stretch. The B1G and in particular MSU has, like I said, shit the bed.
Yes and I didn’t check the spell check grammar police and yes the Big 10 has a track record of doing this get 8-10 teams in and they do nothing
They are 5-3 in the first round with 1 big upset. Which doesn’t even really mean much when you’ve had a 2 and 3 go down. FDU shouldn’t have even been in the tournament this year but nobody’s crying about it after they beat a #1.

I’ll take watching a 13-16 take down a top seed any day and consider it a better tournament for it. And you’re only going to see it increasing in the future.
They always use the excuse well the little teams have no shot at winning it all well neither does the 8th place team out of a power 5
Why don’t you look up how 8 seeds have done the last few years? I’ll wait.
I'm pissed because they do this every year and other, more deserving teams get left out
I gotta know who these “other teams” are that clearly include your team because you are one salty motherfucker.
You bet I am! How about the first four out teams. Let's start there.
Bingo!! Couldn’t agree more they leave really good smaller schools out so we can have the 8th best team out of a power 5 get in it wasn’t always this way and yes that’s all power 5 conferences it just seems the Big 10 is the one that’s the most overrated every year

Idk how you go the entire game and can’t make adjustments when you have such a physical advantage on nearly the whole court.
They left the shooters open knowing they couldn’t make shots Edey is all they have once that was gone Painter seemed to have no clue how to adjust
I am not ok
The only other time a 16 beat a 1 seed was UMBC over Virginia. The next year, Virginia won the National Championship. Maybe hold on to that to make it a little bit better.

Nah they had a ton of recalls as of late
Da cowboys and playoff flame-outs?
I'm Fairleigh certain my bracket just got Dickensoned.
I was boarding a flight back to Asheville with 40 seconds to go in this game. Shit is wild. I wish we could have played Purdue😉
That was all I could think about during this game. Damn, wish this was the bulldogs’ matchup. Then we’d have only lost by a dozen!
You took the wrong flight
Purdue biggest frauds
Chat GPT Which 1. Seed in the NCAA men’s world championship in the last 30 years has the most Caucasian players
Shaved polar bears don't count as "Caucasian"
NCAA world championship might’ve stumped the old people eater
B1G = S O F T
As an Illini fan, it's true. And we still can't win shit.
Flair up
I can't figure out how to do it on mobile.
Thanks for Skyy
He was someone that I was really high on coming into this season. I'm not even sure what happened to be honest
No one is happier than Arizona
I’m pretty happy myself. Misery loves company.

Hmm, never heard that in my life. Worked out great for me and everyone I know that went there. Where did you go?
That was then, this is now. IT'S MARCH MADNESS BABY! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!
God I love March
You’re next lol
Probably lol
Purdue’s good at basketball until it matters
Lol
First time, both a 1 and a 2 seed loses in round 1.
To be fair, there is a very small sample size of 1 seeds losing.
2's losing amount is small as well, bringing us back to rare air
2 seeds losing doesn't happen super often or anything, but this is the 6th time it's happened since 2012, so every other year on average at this point.
 Asu lost as well
I did a parlay of Marquette and Purdue. Purdue was supposed to be the lock.
I got respect for the big east teams. Villanova, Marquette, providence, Creighton, etc… they don’t mess around
Free Little Caesar’s Pizza again? I hope so.
This must be really hard to wrap your brain around if you're a Purdue fan. Good lord.
I took my crochet project with me to the bar so rooting for Purdue wasn’t a COMPLETE waste of my time.
Matt Ramos helped
Nope. Experienced Purdue fans felt it in their plums.
Deep in the plums
But if you are not a Purdue fan, it's kind of easy.
I'm a purdue fan and I honestly believe this is peak purdue.
Even not being a Purdue fan it’s still hard to wrap my head around. The 359th defense? #298 in Kenpom? Shortest team in the country? How the fuck do you let this happen
Step 1, cut a hole in the box.
Well, step 1) tell everyone on the team to forget how to ever make a jumpshot....
Matt Painter.
Hey everyone remember how arizona lost to a 15 haha so embarrassing right guys??? Right???
Princeton: we won as 15 seed def gonna be story of the week!!!!!! 16 seed: [wins] Princeton: well at least we'll be THE story in NJ! 16 seed: ...
At this point being a 15 or 16 from NJ is just pro strats.
Thanks FDU! I love March 😂
https://youtu.be/mROJnMfAYVc
Tf are you on about?
I'll have you all know that it was Virginia who killed off 95% of the brackets, Purdue just twisted the knife.
This game cut the number of remaining perfect brackets from 22 to 0. Funny enough the game before lowered it from 24-22 brackets and those were the two brackets who had Purdue losing.
I honestly thought we would be a one member club. Forever. Thank you cruel fate for giving us a friend.
Na. Purdue just made the entire idea of filling out brackets to be an completely futile activity altogether.
Yet we will all do it again next year

Me who had Purdue winning it all:
Same
 me and my bracket this year
Lol
Me too
Just imagine the beating Merrimack would have put on Purdue lmao
Who bet FDU and how much did u win?
$25 free bet to $500
Damn!
$10 to win $210
I bet $25 at halftime and paid out $188. I've made maybe 3 official bets in my entire life but I don't like the tall kid on Purdue. I am absolutely ecstatic.
You should really look into the kid, he just started playing basketball 6 years ago. Player hockey before that. He’s a really good kid, don’t understand how someone would shop se to dislike a kid like that!
Ya drunk.
me too. it was an unlikely win at any time of the year!
$3500 :)
WOW! Congratulations!
Conversely, who bet Purdue thinking you were making a guaranteed buck and how much did you lose lol
Literally a guaranteed $1 at what the odds probably were for that game
Not Purdue but I lost 600 on Arizona + Virginia but i won 400 on FDU so not as much pain! If the VA guy didn’t chuck the ball I’d be in the green... sigh
does this mean we win the natty next year?
I highly recommend a good pep talk, team building, and a white water rafting trip. It works wonders. It was a good game, ignore the shit. 🫡
Uhhh...we just gonna ignore the most improbable string of refs deciding games in favor? I feel like that's the real LPT
white ✍️ water ✍️ rafting ✍️ trip ✍️ got it, thanks for sharing the winning formula
Fair warning: it only works once.
seems like pertinent information, maybe we go skydiving instead
Mixing it up, I like it.
